In 1974 our founder went on a quest to find out why certain pets in other parts of the world had longer lifespans. The discovery was that a healthy diet rich in natural ingredients—and perhaps more importantly—a way of blending these ingredients helped deliver optimal wellbeing for these pets. Solid Gold® has been unleashing the vitality within all our pets ever since.

GoldSource Core Nutrition is about much more than food. It's about a holistic approach to health. Our unique blend of balanced natural ingredients, vitamins, minerals and amino acids is designed for your pet's whole being—mind, body, spirit. GoldSource Core Nutrition is the foundation of the extraordinary health benefits of every Solid Gold dry food recipe and a testament to the power of well-balanced nutrition.
